Wapato Corrections Facility, is a Multnomah County jail constructed in 2003 in the far corner of North Portland, Oregon. As of 2017, budget limitations have prevented the county from opening the facility and it has never housed an inmate, getting only incidental use such as for movie shoots. It has become infamous, being featured by media such as CNN's Anderson Cooper. It was built by Hoffman Construction Company.
Homeless shelter
In 2016 petitions were circulated to refit the facility to house the homeless and later in 2016 a Multnomah County Commissioner further supported this effort.
